INTRODUCTION, 



BY E. H. GROSS. 

In comparison to that which is not known, the knowledge of all physicians in this 
world is certainly small. But we should never be able to enlarge upon the existing 
basis, did we deny, as do the skeptics upon principle, the general certainty of cogni- 
tion in medical science, or, to speak practically, the reliability of experience in the 
medical art* 

True, there are many trifles connected with the demeanor of the physician, either 
winning or destroying confidence, without the observance of which even the most dis- 
tinguished experience and ability cannot captivate the public. Such a boon is usually 
somewhat dependent upon innate individuality, though sometimes acquired or developed. 

It would be unjust to denounce bluntly the use of these outward expedients by the 
cheap name of "charlatanry;" they deserve this designation only when not based upon 
a solid, scientific foundation, — a foundation which, however, cannot be present, or at 
least not apparent, where skepticism is raised to a dogma ; or, where no connection has 
yet been found between theory and practice. 

But to return : in accordance with his experience, every physician cures as best he is 
able. In this respect we are in favor of the widest toleration, claiming the same for our- 
selves. No one is justified in marking out purely arbitrary paths in science, because 
these are mutually opposed as much as are anarchy and rational liberty. 

Hohenheirn's doctrine did not become the common property of all physicians, because 
it was enveloped by a mysterious obscurity. t \ 

Homoeopathy has no such fate to fear since she has a widely diffused "Press" as an 
ally. — Great, but not insurmountable, are the difficulties which, until now, have prevented 
her universal recognition and practical application. 

In so far as these difficulties lie in the Materia Medica, which, indeed, to the novice 
appears a chaos, I hope to remove them in a great measure by the present work. 

Our treasury of remedies has grown so much, both extensively and intensibly, that the 
publication of further provings of new remedies seems only exceptionally desirable. 

* Every practitioner who derives his support from the patronage of the pubic will admit that this 
"Experience" is his greatest ally and at the same time his best passport to confidence on the part 
of society. M. 

f Mohenheim — more generally known and slandered under the name Paracehits — did not do this him- 
self; it was done by his followers and the editors of his writings. With them it was a kind of fashion 
to puff up everything by surrounding it with clouds of mysteriousness. Exactly as in ©ur age crinolines 
are worn, disgusting to every man of the slightest cultivation of taste. C.Hg. 

t Often, in past ages, has medical truth, departing from the paths marked out by the dogmatism of 
the schools after briefly glimmering before the vision of those who refused to seize upon it, vanished 
into oblivion. M. 



iv INTRODUCTION. 

On the other hand, the proving of (old) remedies on ourselves is indispensable to self- 
instruction. — But we would have to confine ourselves to the treatment of only some 
particularly acute diseases, in order to be able to move within the small circle of* our 
own personal proving. I mean, that it is impossible to have proved on ourselves all 
the remedies at our disposal for the treatment of chronic diseases. 

It is therefore necessary to find and smooth a path which, without being arbitrary, shall 
be correct, and by which we may discover and appropriate, without much difficulty, the 
results of the hitherto known provings. I believe I have taken this path by exhibiting 
the differential DIAGNOSIS of such remedies as are similar in their effects. 

Fichte (the father) has already observed, that every honest work leads the author 
beyond his original purpose. When I undertook this work, I had no idea of the wide 
reach of its results, because it has incidentally yielded the following: 

A. The characteristic effects of such remedies as are herein compared; what is want- 
ing in one diagnosis is found in others. The differential points delineate the character 
of the effects of the medicine as distinctly as microscopic objects appear under polarized 
light. This predominating character of the remedy must be useful even to the gener- 
alizing- physician, for whom, in fact, this book has not been written; and who, since 
he will never fully make use of it by earnest study, is therefore also not competent to 
judge it. 

B. Irrefragable proof is herein furnished that, in their fullest compass, the collective 
effects of a remedy agree with each other, under physiological laws, and that they have 
therefore their own intrinsic physiological explanation, by which at once all theoretical 
elaborations of single remedies become for the future unnecessary, and again, through 
which even those who hitherto hare been strangers to Homoeopathy may convince them- 
selves, without further exertion, of Nature's truth in regard to "physiological" provings 
of remedies. The most important principle for testing the genuineness of every proving 
of a remedy is thereby also produced. 

Further, this work will help to preserve for all time the results of the labors of the 
first half century of Homoeopathy, as well as give new life to the study of remedies, inas- 
much as thus far very little has been done to enable the medical profession to find its way 
through our Materia Medica, and thereby to liberate itself from indolent Scepticism and 
to make use of our treasure of remedies by individualizing in practice. 

That of which "Xon-Homceopaths " have accused us as triviality, they will find herein 
in a desirable lapidary style. In fact, it is also a sort of generalization, but one which 
does not extinguish the effective character of the object; for one can easily conceive 
that every agent is distinguished from another by definite traits. 

All physicians tak? more or less notice of a relation of medical effects; particularly so 
the friends of Doctor Bademacher (the founder of a peculiar medical school in 1845), 
as well as the followers of the so-called "specific" healing art; — but the discovery of 
modalities, of conditions under which an agent discloses its specific powers, is thus far 
exclusively the merit of the homceopathicians.f Whosoever maintains that these mo- 

* It is certain that one succeeds better with a feio well-known remedies than with many whereof he 
knows little. But the practitioner who strives to reduce the number of his remedies more and more 
must necessarily generalize, — whereas, a true follower of individualizing homoeopathy, commencing 
his practice with but a few articles, gradually learns the application of more and more. R.H.Gr. 

t Homoeopathy urges the difference of effects in separate remedies, and knows, therefore, no sur- 
legate. R.H.Gr. 



INTRODUCTION. v 

dalities are of trifling' moment, proclaims indirectly the whole doctrine of Hahnemann to 
be charlatanism. To those who work in our field, the diagnosis of remedies, as it is 
before us, will help to designate more minutely the separate modalities of effects, because 
one of them frequently conditions the other. (Compare China — Ferr.; Carb. an. — Calc, 
and others.) 

Wherever in such respects the new provings differ from the old ones, the cause will be 
found in the more massive and crude form of the drugs employed in the former ; (which, 
being more subject to alternative phenomena, are therefore less characteristic. M.) 

Those who reject all repertories and similar works as an obstacle to a collective and 
unitary comprehension of the features of a disease, natural or artificial, can be refuted by 
the unitary physiological character which any single remedy shows in such a collection 
of its separate symptoms. The misunderstood so-called symptomatic treatment of dis- 
eases in Homoeopathy is thereby once for all justified, because it combats with the total 
character of the remedy the total features of the disease. 

The study of this work, which may always be more entertaining than a calculation of 
logarithms, ought, with eqiral perseverance, to be gone through with; the more so as it 
is more satisfactory than that of mere repertories, since in the latter the symptoms of 
remedies must of necessity be analyzed, whilst here they are synthetically compiled. 
Our diagnosis must also have the preference to a repertory with beginners, who, although 
not familiar with it, can nevertheless always find in a moment the matter searched for. 

To the skeptics I will yet observe that the statements in this book are mostly known 
to every practised Homceopathician, but not always present to his mind ; it would require 
a prodigious memory ; and further, that the doubt about authenticity may be cleared up 
by the internal evidence of truth, recognizable by every competent judge. These com- 
parisons can be looked upon as the first step towards a mathematical method of elabor- 
ating the Materia Medica, which was first suggested by Const. Hering, and which is at 
the same time a statistical one. 

The diagnostics of one remedy offer here a supplement and correction to another,* 
and also show one and the same remedy in different lights. They are based, not upon 
mere abstractions, new stand-points, and the like, out upon provings and clinical 
observations, i.e. upon facts of medicine according to Nature's laws, and are gained by 
the rules of the art of observation ; and it is interesting to follow up the laws of Nature 
which reflect themselves in these facts. We quote only a few of the most prominent: 

Sexual passion, often combined with jealousy, is intimately related on the one hand 
to cruelty, on the other to affected devoutness. In anger and sexual passion the secre- 
tion of saliva is increased ; in a paroxysm of fear diminished. 

The remedies in which hunger is predominant, produce an increased salivary secretion, 
and often a delicate taste (Camph., China, Coffea), while with a diminished saliva the 
appetite is wanting. 

In Aconit.', Chamom., China, Coff., we find predominantly a delicate sense of smell ; 
and, correspondingly, never dryness of the nose, which would make a delicate smell 
impossible. 

Those drugs which cause appetite fer beer, as well as those which generally cause 
scentless flatus, are at the same time remedies for the liver. 

The position of those sleeping with the arms crossed over the head usually indicates 

* In such a work it can hardly be otherwise than that some errata shall remain unnoticed. R.H.Gr. 



ti INTRODUCTION. 

liver complaint, and our remedies, the symptoms of which have been observed as con- 
taining such a position, have in fact a decided relation to the liver. 

The condition " compression of teeth " is identical with that of pressure in general, as 
well as with the lying on the painful side. 

Such analogies are everywhere illustrated. Thus, there is an analogy between the 
influence of stooping, retention of breath, expiration, retraction of abdomen, tension of 
abdomical muscles, of tightness of clothing around the hips, as well as bodily exertion. 

While standing, the body is not completely at rest, but offers quite the same passive 
resistance as while riding in a carriage, particularly if on rough roads; — therefore, the 
analogous influence of both conditions. 

Wine is usually analogous to the effects of warm diet ; vinegar and vegetable acids to 
cold diet. 

Those remedies the complaints of which are ameliorated by eructations have mostly 
also amelioration when the stomach is empty. 

If the thirsty drink little at a time, there is either an instinctive repugnance to fluids, 
or the thirsty one has already experienced that drink is hurtful to him. 

Dryness of the tongue indicates an affection of the brain ; this we find confirmed by 
those of our provings in which dryness of tongue predominantly occurs. 

Under Arsenic is found an inclination for the use of alcoholic drinks and aversion to 
sweets, and correspondingly also an irritable, malicious temper; — on the other hand 
there is, under Rhus, inclination for sweets and aversion to alcoholic drinks, and cor- 
respondingly a depressed mood. 

We find under China, Lachesis, Acid, fluor. and Acid, sulphuric, appetite for spirituous 
liquors, and correspondingly mental excitement, ecstasies, &c. ; under Mercury and Saba- 
dilla (aversion to wine, but) appetite for beer, which produces sluggishness of thought, 
and, corresponding with it, stupidity. (Compare the different influences of wine and 
beer under the head of Camph., Apis.) 

Mental excitement (ecstasy) is usually combined with insensibility of disposition, while 
a sensitive disposition is not un frequently combined with a depression of intellect.* 

In imbecile persons (as well as in children whose faculties are not yet roused) the pupils 
are mostly dilated (and often the urine pale) ; in insanity they are contracted. 

In mania-a-potu we find certain optical illusions, while mental disturbances produced 
by venereal excesses are connected with hallucinations of hearing and smell. These rela- 
tions are a true copy of the corresponding remedies in our medical treasury; particularly 
is there an augmented sexual desire wherever hallucinations of smell have been observed. 
It is evident that by the sense of smell (fragrancy) sexual desires are excited; and it is 
known that even the development of scent in the blossoms accompanies the sexual pro- 
cess of plants — that the development of the vocal organs is coincident with puberty — 
and that the free singing-bird suspends its song as soon as the sexual desire has been 
gratified. 

In clear-sightedness the pupils are predominantly dilated and the optical illusions 
appear in bright colors ; in dim-sightedness in dark colors. 

The remedies which have a specific direction to the hard palate act at the same time 
on the inner nose and inner ear (second branch of the Xerv. trigem.) ; on the other hand, 

* Analogously, we frequently find, during predominating polar currents of air, a diminished irrita- 
bility of the nervous system and a vascular erethism (Mexico, Hungary), while during an equatorial 
direction of winds there is nervous erethism with synchronous torpor of the vascular system. R.H.Gr. 



INTRODUCTION. v;i 

those remedies which act principally on the soft palate generally affect at the same time 
the external ear and external nose (connection of the Nerv. facial, with the Nerv. 
lingual.) 

Persons inclined to constipation are usually of an irritable and vexatious disposition ; 
and those who have a strong inclination to diarrhoea are commonly anxious and sad. 

Such medicines as produce (and cure) painless diarrhoea are also remedies for internal 
haemorrhages. 

Remedies which augment the secretion of urine also usually increase thirst, reduce 
sexual desire, produce a depressed disposition of mind (and often weak-mindedness), 
while with increased sexual desire there is generally combined a diminished urinary secre- 
tion, and mostly also disposition to constipation. Ant. cr., Apis, Aur., Camph., Canth., 
Carb. veg., China, Colch., Con., Dig., Dulc, Iod., Mez., N. vom., Op., Plumb., Puis., 
Ruta, Staph., &c. 

Women menstruating abundantly have usually strong sexual desires, and vice versa. 

Leucorrhcea, in women who menstruate profusely, is frequently of marked consistency, 
while it is fluid in such as have their periods rarely with a scanty flow. 

It is but rarely that we find in our provings a fluent coryza at night, because every 
fluent coryza is apt to cease during sleep and by the warmth of the bed. 

In the so-called narcotics, dry coryza predominates over fluent coryza, and dry cough 
over the moist. Those few narcotics which have coryza more frequently of a fluent 
nature, and a moist cough, have also oftener diarrhoea than constipation. 

Precordial anguish is often one of the first symptoms of insanity; while an anxious 
feeling in the head or in the hypochondriac regions is rarely followed by insanity. (Our 
experience with the remedies corresponds to this observation. C.Hg.) 

The remedies which create a cold breath are also capable of producing moist respiratory 
rales, while with a hot breath they are usually dry. 

If a remedy produces moist respiratory rales it is nearly always also capable of exciting 
cough with expectoration. If the latter be not the case, then the cough is either wanting, 
as in cholera (Colch., Cupr.), or else the matter which is loosened by the cough is swal- 
lowed (Caust.), — or lastly, the secretion is not raised on account of the half-paralyzed 
state of the lungs (oedema, emphysema, &c. — Colch., Cupr., Ipec, Op., Antim. tartar.) 

If a remedy has chill on one side of the body and heat on the other, the chill is always 
on the side on which the respective remedy is also otherwise predominant ; on the other 
hand, the heat (and mostly also the perspiration) on the opposite side. It appears, 
therefore, that the chill is more characteristic of the remedy than the heat, which is rather 
the reaction. 

Those remedies which, in moderate doses, produce no nausea, have the character of 
constitutional non-irritability; the same is true of those where itching of the skin is 
never, or only rarely, changed by scratching. Compare Colch., Helleb., Iod., Ipec, Op., 
Stramon. 

Arsenic has the character of constitutional non-irritability, and, with it, predominant 
complaints in internal parts ; we find, therefore, in this remedy the feeling of numbness 
or insensibility to be in internal or suffering parts ; on the other hand, sensibility ^to the 
touch, &c.) almost exclusively on external parts. 

Such remedies as act specifically on the fore part of the arm (predominantly on flexion) 
affect mostly also the flexors and adductors of the lower extremities. 

The muscles of the upper and fore-arm are, as regards gymnastics, in reciprocal relation 



vni INTRODUCTION. 

to each other. By this only we can explain why the proved medicines, which act spe- 
cifically on the. upper arm, leave the fore-arm almost untouched, and vice versa. 

Whenever a remedy acts predominantly on the interior or posterior side of the thigh, 
it acts also on the sole of the foot (Nerv. sciatic.); and if it acts predominantly on the 
exterior and anterior side of the thigh, it does so also on the dorsum of the foot, (Nerv. 
crural.) But, as a general rule, the whole course of the nerve is not attacked at one and 
the same time, nor in one and the same prover, but sometimes one and then again another 
part of the course and distribution of such nerve. 

In this respect the contrast of the calf to the shin seems to make an exception, in so 
far as such remedies as affect the anterior and exterior sides of the thigh and the dorsum 
of the foot are often also specific for the calf. The explanation of this seeming anomaly 
is clear in the fact that the anterior plane of the tibia is not covered with muscles and 
cannot, therefore, contain any large branches of nerves.* 

From what has been said it is apparent that we can judge of the purity of the provings 
by the physiological coincidence of their symptoms. If a thoroughly proved medicine 
contains contradictory symptoms, is has either been proved by different observers with 
different doses, or one of the two observations is erroneous, and it was no effect of the 
remedy. Of course we do not speak, here of the so-called "alternative symptoms," 
therefore not of the agreement and disagreement of symptoms contained in one and the 
same relation of effects, but in regard to the different directions or drift which the effects 
of medicines take. 

These diagnoses of remedies maybe objected to on the ground that by further provings 
many of the antitheses may lose force ; this may certainly be possible, but it will not 
occur often, because most of the modalities have already been eon firmed by manifold 
cures. 

All individualizing physicians, whether they call themselves homoeopaths or otherwise, 
can use these diagnoses to advantage, provided they are acquainted with the range of 
the symptoms of the remedies referred to.f Without such knowledge they are of course 
useless ; I have therefore no fear that my work will be abused by the ignorant. 

Undoubtedly, diseases are also cured by physicians who pay no regard to modalities 
of symptoms, because they find it too inconvenient to individualize. They declare, with- 
out having ever applied the high potencies scientifically, such cures attained by the latter 
as spontaneous, simply because such high dilutions have proved ineffectual in their gener- 
alizing applications. Their success is explained by the habitual exhibition of massive 
doses which frequently force the disease to accept the symptoms of the applied remedy 
and to change the conditions under which its symptoms appeared before the use of the 
medicine. — Nature has her peculiar means of defence against every sort of attack, to wit, 
reaction; but to heal <; surely, quickly and mildly" cannot be expected with massive 
doses. J It is therefore dangerous to use the reports of cures of such homoeopathic 
physicians, because such cures, frequently followed not according to, but in spite of, the 
modalities of symptoms of the remedy in question, i. e. they followed antipathic ally. Even 

* And the sciatic nerve, in its final distribution, supplies the calf and shin, and also the sole and 
dorsum of foot. M.

INTRODUCTION 33 

if we consider it from the stand-point of the materialists, the application of massive doses 
is not contradictory, because the lower dilutions of our remedies are (not always, but 
generally) too large a dose for a homoeopathic, and too small a dose for an antipathic 
effect. Medicines which have improved a sickness by traditional doses have not been 
prescribed accurately according to the law of similars, else they would have made the 
state of the patient worse instead of better. 

When the law of Nature, as it has lately been laid down by Grauvogl in harmony 
with Hahnemann's doctrines, shall have once been universally acknowledged, then the 
latter can be no more pushed aside as antiquated (although truth never grows old) by 
those who, out of selfishness, abuse the name of homoeopathy by applying it to the 
extremest eclectic empiricism. It is easy for any one to flatter himself with the assump- 
tion that he is a great genius if he rejects, as prejudice and delusion, all such phenomena 
as, not being plain upon the surface, cannot be immediately taken hold of. A physician 
of this category, particularly if he considers his practice merely as a lucrative business, 
fares very well, and it is not necessary for him to oppose the opinion of the masses. — 
The roughly naturalizing physician ignores contradictions and difficulties; he who bases 
his proceedings upon science solves the first and conquers the last, benefits always and 
injures never. Withal, there remains this advantage in Homoeopathy, that the learned 
and the ignorant, the honest worker and the indolent, can all participate in its blessings. 
Homoeopathy is that individualizing healing art which, like all her true disciples, seeks 
to exclude more and more all accident and chance. The generalizing physicians, who 
concede a large part of their success in healing to chance, just save to themselves the 
appearance of being scientific by their rampant skepticism; and greatly do they need 
this appearance, because with those chances they open the door to routinism as well as 
to charlatanry ; they move therefore, provided they know better, on immoral ground. 

The diagnoses not found in this work, such as Mercurius and Sepia (Mercurius and 
Stannum), Pulsat. and Silicea, Camph. and Ipec, &c, can be made up in the mean time 
by the comparison of those given. Of Gelseminum nitidum and Glonoin there follows 
only a sample, the diagnosis from Belladonna.* Whenever the medical effects of these 
remedies shall have been more verified, then will Gelsem. have to be compared with 
Arsen., Puis., Yeratr., &c, and Glonoin, with Aconit., Camph., Digit., Op., &c. 

One of the difficulties of the present work consisted in its limits. In order not to make 
it too extensive, and thereby unpractical, I was obliged to select from the pharmaco- 
dynamic affinities the most interesting and practically most important antitheses, and 
to generally leave out such symptoms as both have in common. In order to confine 
myself to the diagnosis, I usually had to leave all such symptoms of remedies uncon- 
sidered as were based upon single observations, and I have gained thereby in clearness 
and general survey. 

I acknowledge thankfully that, without Boenninghausen's previous efforts, my labors 
would have been above the power of a single individual. Bcenninghausen's diagnosis 
of Calcarea and Causticum (Allg.h. Ztg. 63, p. 86 seq.) encouraged me to persevere in 
what I had reluctantly begun. No intelligent person can reproach me with having 
trodden in Bcenninghausen's footsteps, since in what he has done no one will be able to 
rival, much less surpass him. 

The antitheses of remedies which have thus far been incompletely proved, or only 
rarely applied, and the symptoms of which could therefore have received but little con- 

* Dr. J. C. Morgan has added a comparison of Gelseminum and Aconitum. C.IIg. 



x INTRODUCTION. 

firmation in practice, are of course but meagre and uninteresting. This is one of the 
reasons why these diagnoses must for the present remain incomplete; but it is left to a 
succeeding generation to correct what is doubtful, and to complete what is deficient. 
What there is yet to do, in this respect, will become partially obvious when we observe 
that, in spite of all provings and counter-provings, the modalities of symptoms of some 
efficient and often used remedies, as Bellad., Bryon., Arnica, &c, have remained com- 
paratively uncertain. 

I hope that this work will, by all, be — not lauded, but — what would be to me the 
most acceptable acknowledgment — used; used even by those whose approbation would 
be of no benefit to a book of this kind. If it exposes to many a reader his own deficiency 
of knowledge, it is at the same time ready to fill up any such gap with fidelity and dis- 
cretion. 

The difference of the principal polychrest-remedies are partly familiar to all, but had 
to be referred to for completeness' sake. 

It is true that the so-called naturally related or cognate remedies are not quite suit- 
able as successive or alternate* remedies, but I could not omit them entirely, as the object 
of these pages is to facilitate the differential diagnosis of (also such) remedies, and because, 
as Hemng has already shown, such remedies are especially diagnosed by the conditions 
under which their symptoms are either improved or aggravated. — Compare Carbo anim. 
et veg., Sulph. and Hep., Ant. crud. and Tart, emet, Phosph. and Acid. Phosph., &c, &c. 

* The last appearing symptoms always being the most important (Hahnemann, Chron. Diseases, 
p. 171 ; Hahnemannean Monthly, vol. 1, n. 1, p. 7), for instance, after a medicine ceases to improve a 
case, the reappearing symptoms, or still more so the new symptoms, become the principal indicative 
in the next selection ; we are never able to decide a priori what will be the next medicine suitable 
in a given case. 

Close observation, however, had shown to Hahnemann himself, and to many of his followers, that 
after certain medicines (for instance Calcarea) certain others (for instance Lycopodium) are oftener 
indicated and follow each other well ; hence the very important doctrine of successive remedies sprung 
up, i- e. there are some medicines which may often be given with peculiarly good results after each 
other. Of course never without consulting the changed state of the case, as we never know, and never 
can know, how a case may have become altered, and never know beforehand what medicine will be the 
next indicated. 

In some cases (spoken of in the Organon, § 169 & 170) where two medicines appear to correspond to a 
case, one of them to one group, the other to another group, we may suggest that after the one has been 
given and overcame one part of the complex of symptoms, the other might be given next to overcome the 
others. — This may be sometimes the case, but it may also not ; the chances are equal. We have first to 
see, inquire, and observe, as Hahnemann urges in \ 170, before we decide. There are cases where, after 
such an indicated succession, the first medicine of the two appears to be indicated again, the symptoms 
having so changed, or the former group of symptoms indicating; it being returned, and after it the 
second again, for the same reason, neither of the two being fully indicated, only both seem to cover 
the case. Such cases have been the offspring of the doctrine of alternate medicines. Both together being 
out of question as, then, they ought to have been proved together. 

After a certain succession has been of a good effect more than once, it may be considered excusable 
to suppose a repetition might be of a similar good result, but never have we the slightest excuse to 
suppose such a thing a priori. As an example of the worst kind we may mention the alternation of 
Aconit. and Belladonna in scarlet fever, which has proved to be the most absurd and most injurious in 
innumerable cases, because Aconit. rarely, if ever, is indicated in scarlet fever, even not in the begin- 
ning, when it may lessen the fever, and the fever being of course beneficial, spoil the case. Belladonna 
and Rhus have been really indicated in scarlet fever and have been given one after the other, and in 
many cases with benefit alternately ; but since we know when to give Calcarea or when Ammonium, 
we do not depend any more on such miserable makeshifts. Alternation is thus among true Homceo- 
pathicians to be understood as Hahnemann understood it, and never to be decided on a priori. C.Hg. 



INTRODUCTION. xi 

It is self-evident that many of the modalities mentioned are to be understood merely 
as prevailing and predominant, which would not exclude solitary deviations ; for it is 
well known that, with several remedies (Nux vom., Rhus, Sil., Staph.), the complaints 
in the scalp constitute an exception to the other circumstances, partly in regard to the 
time of aggravation, and partly as to the predominant influence of warmth of bed. — • 
Under Argent, Coloc, Rhus, &c, we find a contrast between trunk and extremities 
in so far as the complaints are at one time increased by extension, at another diminished 
by the same circumstance. — In Argent, and Sulph. the pains in the joints differ frequently 
from the muscular pains by the varied influence of rest and warmth of bed. — Aconit., 
of which most of the (inflammatory, congestive, catarrhal) symptoms are aggravated by 
a warm room (and by wine), has, on the other hand, the rheumatic pains ameliorated 
under the same conditions, while they are worse in cold open air.— As a general thing, 
congestive complaints are nearly always better in open air, even with remedies whose 
other symptoms are aggravated by cold free atmosphere. However, see: Chamom. and 
Nux vom. 

In the separate comparisons are to be found not only what the one remedy has opposite 
to the other, but also what the one has in preference, or much oftener than the other, 
or when the same symptoms appear under different conditions. The relative differences 
I have tried to designate partly by their expression and partly by different type; — it lies, 
in fact, in the character of comparative observations, that the prominent type here used 
can have only a relative significance, not an absolute one: as in Bonninghausen's books. 
Where single words are not marked by different type, the sequence of different conditions 
is sometimes pointed out by the position of the words ; if, for instance, under Rhus there 
is, "after rising from a seat," aggravation or amelioration, then the former refers to the 
commencement of the motion, the latter to its continuance. 

These general statements are intended for the comprehension of all the variety of 
complaints answering to a remedy, never for one and the same case; otherwise it could 
not be explained why under one remedy sometimes two quite opposite symptoms have 
been mentioned; as for instance under Merc, "itching, better or worse by scratching." 

Wherever in any one diagnosis some headings have been omitted, it was because no 
notable phenomena had been observed under that heading, or only such as belonged to 
both remedies. 

It should be understood, also, that on account of the general character of these notes, 
for instance, the term "aggravation" embraces all predisposing and exciting influences. 
It is, therefore, needless to explain in particular that, for instance, under Sulphuric acid 
the "aggravation by the use of brandy" refers to the consequences of a deleterious, 
habitual use of this beverage, while "amelioration after the use of wine," in the same 
remedy, signifies that it is simply a palliation of the symptoms produced by the 
medicine. 

As a general thing, the amelioration of symptoms by the respective influences 
(motion, exertion, &c.) means that these influences are of a moderate degree; for 
example, Rhus has: "better on moderate pressure," on the other hand "worse on deep 
pressure," — Ars., Bell., Cham., Rhus, t., "better from warmth of room," but "worse 
near a fire or hot stove," — Cannab., Ipec, Thuya, "better in the room," but "worse 
when the same is too warm." 

I need scarcely remark that no extreme inferences should be drawn from the statements 
in these diagnoses; to explain: if Pulsatilla has many complaints "better after eating," 



xii INTRODUCTION. 

while Bryonia many "better with an empty stomach," it is not to be concluded that 
aggravation after eating does not occur in both remedies. 

In order to gain in compass of expression, I have worded the time of aggravation or 
remission of symptoms in such a manner that conclusions can be drawn from either as 
to the other. If, for instance, Calcarea has "remission before midnight," we know that 
during any other time of the night or day aggravations occur, which, however, need 
evidently not be present in every corresponding case of disease. We can, thence, also 
surmise the extent of tune of the remission and aggravation, respectively, to which the 
different symptoms of a remedy are subject On the other hand, we do not include, in 
the time of general remission or aggravation, attacks of chills, fevers, &c, nor sleepless- 
ness, which often predominate just at the period when most of the other symptoms of a 
remedy show a remission, and vice versa. 

With a similar brevity I have stated the relation of thirst to the different stages of 
febrile attacks. The expression of "rarely" or "very rarely" presupposes the cor- 
responding symptom in the opposite remedy to occur frequently. — The "want of physical 
irritability" and "increased irritability" refer always to the (at the time present) 
material conditions of the entire individual constitution. It is therefore not to be under- 
stood that these phrases correspond with "over-sensitiveness," or "insensibility," or 
"feeling of numbness" (comp. Fluor, Merc, Staph.), wdiich latter refer only to the con- 
dition of single or several nerve-branches, and which designates only the peripheral rela- 
tion to external irritations. During a peripheral numbness or insensibility the central 
sensitiveness of some separate nervous trunks may be heightened, as we find it to be the 
case in many neuralgic affections. (Compare the note to Camph., Veratr.) Dryness 
of skin is not placed in antithesis to sweat, which is mostly found in the same remedy, 
but to disposition to sweat or sweating easily, in so far as both occur in feverless con- 
ditions. 

The difference between nervous and sanguineous apoplexy is of little- value to the 
pathologist, but remains important in relation to its phenomena and in therapeutics. 

With the remarks on the coagulability of the blood it will have to be remembered 
that the same often depends on the dose and repetition of the drug, according to which 
it varies. 

Wherever bright and dark hasmorrhages are differently stated, it refers also to the 
menses 

I suppose there is no vindication needed for having placed the influences of the moon* 
and sun in contrast, as it is known that the influences of either exclude those of the other 
more or less, and, for instance, that a thunder-storm is not likely to occur while the 
moon is above the horizon. Besides, there are but few remedies which represent the 
influences of both equally. It is true that the electrometer has scarcely been used, thus 
far, in the provings of remedies, the state of the atmosphere during a thunder-storm 
being only a phenomenon of dynamic electricity, measurable by the galvanometer. 

* Fome doctors get into a condemnation fit if they see the "moon" mentioned in a medical work. 
With the most miserable superficiality they call it a superstition. But aggravations of symptoms, 
apparently synchronous with certain phases of the moon, have been observed and, indeed, noted by 
observers like Hahnemann himself, Boenninghausen, and a few others. And they proceeded with such 
care that only from a very few medicines, about five per cent, of the whole number, such observations 
exist, and that is all that has been collected during the time of half a century! It is very cheap to 
sneer at it. But such " critics" have no right to call an easy process of this kind " reasoning." C.Hg. 



INTRODUCTION. xin 

It may not be superfluous to remark that the wordings "first right, then left" and 
"first left, then right," also "from above doivnivard" and "from below upward" are 
applied according to the maxim of Contraria contrariis, by virtue of the law of inverse 
directions.* 

The diagonal "upper right, lower left" implies in man and quadrupeds the stronger, 
while " upper left, lower right" signifies the weaker power. These formulae are charac- 
teristic and important, because they contain, by implication, the principle of motion; 
while we mean, by a simple "right or left," no reference to rest or motion of the body. 

The expression "inner ear" includes the middle portion, i.e. Tympanum and Eu- 
stachian tube. 

Several remedies have the excretion of urine increased, or also diminished. Such an 
increased excretion is due, either to excessive doses of the medecine (Aeon., Coloc, Op., 
Sassap., Sulph), or to a spasmodic or paralytic state inherent in the symptoms of the 
remedy (Op., Bell., Canth., Hyosc, Strain.); or else the diminished excretion is con- 
ditioned by a simultaneous (watery) diarrhoea (Yeratr., Phosph. acid., Arsenic). With 
Arsenic the stages of fever are also of various influence, as the excretion of urine during 
the chill is more copious than during the hot and sweating stage. — Besides, the asser- 
tions in regard to the urinary seeretion may suffer modification by considering the 
presence of a local disease of the urinary organs. Whenever, in the appendix, under 
the term "while urinating" the locality of the sensation is not stated, it is understood to 
mean the urethra. 

Where simply the word "expectoration" is used, we understand always an "expec- 
toration by coughing." — "Expectoration rare" or "constant" refers not to the time 
of day (which is usually mentioned in connection with it), but to the statistic relation 
of the expectoration to the cough of the respective drug. It has concerned me more, as 
a general thing, to express the relative statistic significance of a symptom objectively, 
than to make sharp antitheses. 

I am well aware that the allusions to antidotal symptoms are by no means exhausted, 
because every remedy which bears a symptomatic affinity to another one — i. e. which is 
similar in its form of symptoms, that is to say, which is alike in many and opposed in 
some action? — may also be its antidote; but I did not wish to let the opportunity pass 
of giving the reader an inducement to interesting comparisons. — At any rate, antidotes 
are effectually found only by the law of similars ; and I wish to observe on this occasion 
that cases of chronic poisoning can frequently be recognized only by the aid of Homoeo- 
pathy. 

A few words on the disputed primary and secondary effects of medicines Even though 
this conception be problematic (relative), still it is of importance; for should we drop 
such a distinction of effects entirely we would be obliged to admit all characteristic 
symptoms of a remedy to be capable of perversion to the contrary, such as contraction 

* Compare note to Amnion, and Bell., and others. The formula "R. «fe *L." or "L. s ^R." 

has been given only in ei^ht of our comparisons, with such medicines only where it was considered 
sufficiently corroberated. More about it will be given in the Journals and in the "Analytical Thera- 
peutics." 

The formula " Upper right, lower left," or " Upper left, lower right " in the effects of a drug has to 
be exactly alike in the case, but the formula "right" or "left" is rarely to be considered exclusive : 
it may be the opposite side in the case, if only sufficiently similar otherwise ; the formula " risrht to 
left" or "left to right," if it is a true characteristic of the drug, ought to be the opposite with the 
patient. C.Hg. 



xiv INTRODUCTION. 

of pupil to dilation, ecstasy to dullness of mind, &c, which would be, to say the least, a 
venturous boldness. This distinction can be justified indirectly by Grauvogl's funda- 
mental laws, in which it is affirmed that abstraction of water produces cold (on the other 
hand, supply of water — heat). Xow, in accordance with this fact, all water-abstracting 
remedies produce first cold and then heat; at least, among the salts there is not one 
which has first heat and then cold. I would like to know what else this heat, following 
cold, could be, but a secondary effect ; for it cannot be proved that abstraction of water 
produces heat just as well as cold. This is evidently no ground for striking out the 
"heat," following cold, from the register of symptoms, but we simply take note of the 
fact that it appeared after the cold (chill). 

It is of course necessary to note, with the pathogenic symptoms, the dose which has 
been used ; or else one would, like Hahnemann, have to confine oneself to a narrower 
scale of doses in provings and to experiment only with molecular quantities ; because, 
if we take into account not only these, but also large and even poisonous doses, the result 
would be indefinite ; but if, on the contrary, we follow the wise and measured path which 
Hahnemann has prescribed, then the relation of primary to secondarv effects will be con- 
fined to a narrow limit, and it will be apparent how the inevitable characteristics of 
medical effects rest on just such a difference.

ported from Essequibo. The common drug 
of the shops from Honduras seems not to

toasted common sponge of the shops, im- 
ported from the Mediterranean ; the dried

his provings and cures the best sponge 
carefully roasted like coffee until brown 
and (friable) not burnt to a coal.

Sulphur — The trituration of the flowers of Sul- 
phur of the shops, prepared according to 
Hahnemann ; one of the different forms of 
this elementary body, (S.) The milk of 
Sulphur seems to differ somewhat. Also 
the solution in Alcohol called by Hahne-

the oil of Vitriol of the shops. 

Thuya — The tincture of the tops of the 
branches of Thuya occidentalism a North 
American tree, the American arbor-vitse, 
cultivated in Europe. 

Valeriana— The tincture of the dried root of 
Valeriana officinalis, a plant of Europe, 
growing in damp shady and in dry sunny 
places; the plant from the latter location 
ought to be preferred. 

Veratrum — The tincture of the dried root of 
Veratrum album, a plant of moist meadows 
of the Alps; the white Hellebore of the 
shops. 

Zincum — The trituration of pure metallic zinc, 
an elementary body (Zn), formerly pre- 
pared from the filings, now of the precipi- 
tates in the form of dust. 



REMAEKS BY THE EDITOE. 



Dr. R. H. Gross worked at his differential comparisons a great many years. When 
he had taken up a pair of "related" medicines, i. e. such as had a predominating simi- 
larity in their effects, or such as might be indicated in the same or similar diseases, he 
considered it a matter of complete indifference which one be placed on the left column 
of the page and which on the right-hand column. The two columns were to him like a 
pair of scales. He did not pay any attention to the doctrine of groups, the least of all 
to Teste's notions. After the collection was made, he arranged them alphabetically. 
The Index of this translation has been arranged exactly in the same way, and the reader 
can find at a glance what is contained in the book. 



To compare all our proved medicines with each other, (if we calculate that there are 
about three hundred, more or less proved and applied), and to compare, respectively, 
each one with the other, would require about 50,000 diagnoses ! But, of course, the 
greatest number of them, if worked out, would be useless in practice and a burden to 
our literature. Still a beginning had to be made in order to find out which are useful 
and which not, and to know which comparisons we had to make only in our own mind 
(as we do in other natural sciences.) This is our great aim, and to come nearer to it the 
work of Gross is a stepping-stone, a transition. As a selection had to be made, it seems 
that Dr. Gross took Aconitum and Pulsatilla on the one hand, and Sulphur and Ar- 
senicum on the other, and added gradually what he considered next to most important. 
Here are about five hundred comparisons of one hundred of our most generally used 
drugs. Another similar volume, as a continuation of this present one, is ready if wanted 
by the profession, and that would satisfy all the demands of theory as well as of practice 
for the rest of this age 

Such a result is certainly encouraging, since, although we are still a decided minority 
among physicians, we have proved already nearly all the elements of chemistry and about 
one-hundredth part of all that is offered by nature ! This gigantic work had to be done 
by a few slandered men, within fifty years. It is by far more than any other natural 
science can boast to have accomplished in so short a time, and, as our increase in number 
is equally satisfactory, our sons and grandsons may reach the climax. 



In advising how to use this book, we will address the students first and the prac- 
titioners next. 

The student of Materia Medica has now a better chance than he ever had before to 
become familiar with the very essence of our knowledge of drugs. The bewildering awe

xx REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. 

overcoming every one entering into our dominion disappears with every step forward, if 
lie takes Gross as his leader. Begin by first studying one medicine. Read what is 
given in the Text-Book of Dr. Lippe, or any other Extract you have on hand, and, 
immediately after it, its different comparisons, and you will at once get a clearer idea of 
its character. Of this you will convince yourself by reading, for a second time, what is 
given in the Text-Book. 

The first impression the newcomers heretofore received was the perplexing similarity 
in our collection of symptoms, and it often led to the very absurd remark, particularly 
with our opponents, that the different drugs acted all alike, and had nearly all the same 
symptoms over and again. Here now, through Gross, the query will be reversed, and 
some will ask, "Where is the similarity?" Only here and there a few hints have been 
given regarding the similarity of the compared drugs, and, if more is required, refer to 
the Repertories; look to the Materia Medica itself, even to the Extracts; examine the 
Therapeutical Works, and you will find concordances enough. 

The book is furthermore of the greatest value to show the necessity of a true, sharp 
indiuidualisation, and will enable you to learn whether your examination of the sick 
has been imperfect. You may often return to the sick-bed and examine again and 
closer after having consulted the Comparative Materia Medica. 



TJie practitioner may consult our work every day, at least in all cases where he is not 
perfectly certain in his choice. It may happen, and, indeed, often will happen, that we 
cannot at once decide between two medicines, and then we can go to find the very same 
remedies compared in the book ; such a case requires no further advice, a single glance 
will decide the most important questions and save a great deal of time, except in some 
cases where a further, and better, and more complete examination will be required ; but 
even in such cases we obtain instruction from the book, and a good advice into the bar- 
gain. If only one of the two drugs we have in view appears in the book, we have to 
look over such other comparisons as come nearest, or, what is very important, over com- 
parisons with such drugs as either were the last given in the case, or had been given, 
with good result, to the same individual before ; or else compare with a medicine which 
'•rules the day," i. e. corresponds to the predominating genius epidemicus If both 
medicines are to be found in the book, but not compared, for instance Mercurius and 
Stannum, look to the index, and you will find that each of them is compared with Pul- 
satilla and with Sulphur. Study both, and you cannot fail finding the advice you wish. 
If it happens that we are undecided about several different medicines, we have to look 
over several comparisons. If neither of them is among the first hundred in the book, 
there is nothing else to be done than to make the wanted comparison yourself, and find 
out, at the same time, what a great undertaking it is to make one such comparison only, 
which, we sincerely hope, will impress upon you the importance to send in your subscrip- 
tion for a second volume, and not to forget to promote, as much as you can, the sale of 
this book ; for a continuation of it will, as a matter of course, never appear if it does not 
meet with a ready sale. 



The order in the arrangement of symptoms, which our author has adopted for satis- 
factory reasons, is only partly Hahnemann's plan. He commences with generalities 



REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. xxi 

mostly looked for by the practitioner, and the symptoms of the skin, with those of fever, 
following next. These are then divided from the other symptoms by means of a rule. 
Below this rule the symptoms of the mind were placed first, head next, and so on, ac- 
cording to Hahnemann's plan. A third division is again formed by another rule; it 
contains the Aggravations and Remissions during the day, and all other modalities and 
conditions. The fourth division points out the contrast of such conditions which are 
predominant in one remedy and the reverse in the other : one of the most difficult, but 
also most useful parts of the whole comparison. Here it is where we hope to obtain 
many additional corroborating, or, if necessary, correcting remarks by the practitioners. 



According to the author every comparison had to fill a page, arranged in strictly 
alphabetical order, which is of great advantage in consulting the book. As a few of 
his comparisons could be printed together on one page, without disturbing the order, 
it was concluded to give others two pages, provided they could be arranged in such a 
way as to place them invariably opposite each other. Additions were also made to some 
of them, extending the limits adopted by Dr. Gross, in order to make them still more in- 
structive for beginners. 

There are eight such two-page medicines : Aconitum and Coffea — Bryonia and Pul- 
satilla — Coffea and Pulsatilla — Cuprum and Ferrum — Cyclamen and Pulsatilla — Rheum 
and Chamomilla — Rheum and ]S"ux vomica — Veratrum and Belladonna. Thus twelve 
of our polychrests are more fully compared : nine times with one, twice with two, once 
with three others. 

Beginners may find it very useful in learning by them what great practical use all such 
comparisons have, particularly if they are able to add observations of cured cases of 
their own, and know, as the Germans say, how to read ''between the lines." 



The translation has been made with the greatest care and the best intentions for utmost 
accuracy, trying, with due piety towards the author, to render his peculiarities and his 
own variations. The edition and revision has absorbed all the spare hours of a whole 
year. Some incongruities of language have undoubtedly slipped our notice. All remarks 
about such will be thankfully received, ackowledged, and made use of. The editor begs 
to be excused, in particular, for some Germanisms, most of which, it is hoped, will not 
hinder the use of the book ; a few of them might even be permanently adopted, like the 
word "proving," and others. 

"Fever," in the German language, means the whole attack in all its three stages. 

Eastwind, in middle Europe, is a landwmd, and, consequently, had to be translated 
by "Westwind," and vice versa. 

Technical terms have been preferred whenever the author preferred them; otherwise 
they have not had the sole sweep as in other books, but the true, clear anglo-saxon was 
put in its place. For instance: "sweat" is generally used instead of the mock-modest 
"perspiration;" "bellyache" has taken the place of its real meaning; "unpdinful," 
philosophically (as used by Locke), is to be distinguished from "painless," and has been 
regularly used where it ought to have the preference. Several other expressions, not 
of daily use in the newspapers, have been preferred after a cautious consultation with 
American and German scholars. 



xxn REMARKS BY THE EDITOR. 

AhiHdgments had to be resorted to so as to make the work less extensive and 
expensive. They will not puzzle the reader if he consults the opposite line or other 
places where there was space to spell the word out in its full length. "Pred., Predom., 
Predominantly," is explained by the author in his introduction ; it always means that 
the respective medicine has the respective symptom or modality far more than its oppo- 
site and is therefore to be preferred if the same is the case with the patient; but it is not 
to be used exclusively, i. e. the opposite may also come in use, being not a contra-indica- 
tion, provided there are enough of other characteristics besides to confirm the choice. 

R. %$ >L. and L. » > R. means that some symptoms, with the pr overs, have 

been observed to go from the right side to the left, or vice versa It has been supposed 
that in cases to be cured by such a drug the "drift" with the sick ought to be the 
reverse. Observations of this kind ought not to be lost, but carefully collected and 
communicated, as they may lead us to a greater certainty, in theory and practice, much 
more than any other proposed exclusive rule ever has done. 



"We cannot omit, at the close of this great undertaking, to express our thanks to all 
who aided us, as without such aid it would have been impossible for Editor and Publisher 
to succeed. 

The first thing requisite was to have the manuscript, as left by the author, copied in 
more legible German. This was done, with the greatest exactness and in an incredibly 
short time, by Doctor L. Knabe. 

To mention all who aided in the collection of a Glossarium, and in the translation of 
the text according to it, is inadmissible ; but we say, with our thanks, that the trans- 
lation of the Introduction — a most difficult task — was done by Dr. R. Koch, and 
a careful revision was made by Dr. Morgan. The Pharmaceutical Key was revised 
by Dr. Zumbrock. The whole Appendix has been translated by Dr. Conrad Wessel- 
hceft. The very interesting observations regarding cures of horses, in our work, have 
been translated with the aid of Mr. Tegtmeyer of this city, a veterinary surgeon and 
a true Homagopathician. 

Numerous additions by our Colleagues have been duly credited. 

Finally our particular thanks are due to Mr. John H. Schwacke, who superintended the 
setting in type of a manuscript which would have been refused in most all other Printing 
offices, as the execution, according to the plan of the Author, offered such uncommon 
difficulties, that it required great skill, experience and ingenuity to overcome them. We 
ought to likewise mention the compositors, and thank them for their skill, their patience, 
and the great interest they have taken in the correct and tasteful typical arrangement of 
the work.

t This observation was made by Dr. W. Wesselhoft, 1835. Even resolute, enduring women, who had born several 
children, tossed about in agony. Coffea was first given by Dr. Kallenbach, in eases of excessive paius. without a 
perceptible cause; frequent, weak, empty pulse; great pain in small of back, in nervous women, who got into a stab 
of over-excitement or hysteric sensibility, who wished to be killed. The fear of cleat n, as a characteristic, wa* dis- 
covered by Dr. Jager. The same in afterpains, particularly with primipara?, or after a mole.* 

+ For this observation of Dr. Blair, of Ohio, we have to thank Dr. Hale, of Chicago, who confirmed and communicated it 
afterwards ; also Dr. Fanning (H. Rev. 5,161 and 214.) In all cases potences, even 200th were giveu.

and both are only effective when the complaint of the patient develops in the opposite direction. For 
instance : the hardness of hearing, which indicates Amnion, carb., is cured more effectually by it, when 
the complaint began on the left side and extended or threatened to extend to the right side ; — inflam-

trary, has decidedly more headache in the evening, from afternoon 4 until evening 10 o'clock; burning heat of the face 
and redness, with quivering before the eyes, from 5 till 9 o'clock; particularly also increase of mental symptoms in the

N.B. The sensation of numbness in suffering parts peculiar to Pulsatilla is very rarely found with 

Bryonia. 

N.B. Both remedies meet in gastric and rheumatic affections, and in swellings of the knee ; Bryonia is 
more effectual in gout ; Pulsatilla is preferable in hemorrhoids ; Bryon. acts more on the arteries 
and articular synovial membranes, Pulsatilla more on the veins. (H. Hartlaub.) Bryonia more 
on the functions of the eye, Pulsatilla more on the organic parts of the eye ; Bryonia alone has 
the buccal eruption, Pulsatilla the earache ; Bryonia has more swelling of the feet, Pulsatilla of

vol. 63, p 86, who published it to instruct some ignorant wiseacres who objected to our Causti- 
cum, because we do not know what it is, according to the theories of the chemistry of our day. 
But we can prepare it, can use it and heal the sick with it according to its symptoms, and it is 
one of our most valuable instruments. Twenty years ago the chemists discovered Ozon, twenty 
years hence they may tell us, what Hahnemann's Causticum is ; why should we wait for that 
and let the sick suffer ? C.Hg.

N.B. In accordance with the character of increased susceptibility, which is peculiar to Cantharides, this 
remedy lacks the sensation of numbness in suffering parts peculiar to Lycop. 

N.B. Dr. Ludlam, on diphtheria, calls our attention to Cantharides in cases where the patient has 
urinary difficulties, too copious or difficult micturition, the urine containing shreds or casts of the 
uiiniferous tubuli, shows extreme prostration, sinking, death-like turns, particularly if there 
appears a rash upon the 6kin or under (shining through) the epidermis. As Lycop. also has the 
urinary difficulty and according to Dr Raue (Lecture on Diphtheria), the latter is indicated when the 
fauces have a darkish hue, worse on the right side, which is not unsimilar to Cantharides, we may 
be able to decide by Ludlam's other characteristics, or by the following of Dr. Raue, for Lycop. 
(worse from swallowing warm drinks, has to breathe through the mouth, or dilates the nostrils 
with every inspiration, the child is naughty, cross, kicks, awaking from a nap) ; but in cases 
where such symptoms are not given, we may use the differential comparison with advantage. 
Also look to Lachesis or Apis. C.Hg. 

* Deviations can be explained by the various influences which warmth of bed has on the Lycopod. complaints. The 
Bame can be said of the varied influences which growing cold has on Lycopod. symptoms.

and when lying on right side. 

N.B. In accordance with the constitutional character of each remedy, we very rarely find the over- 
sensitiveness to pain of the Nux vom. patient with Capsicum. 



* The improvement of the Capsicum-symptoms, when walking out doors, must be attributed more to motion than to 
open air.

N.B. The characteristic appearance of symptoms with Carbo anim. after sliaving, particularly in the 
region of the nervus trigeminus, is an oversensitiveness not very rare. C.Hg.

N.B. Of all our medicines Carbo vegetabilis is, according to its symptoms, the most similar to the 
characteristic symptoms of yellow fever, as much so as Sulphur corresponds to the characteristics 
of Asiatic cholera. Hence each remedy respectively, when it can be given in time, is best given 
in the first symptoms of these epidemics, in order to reduce each case at least to a milder form — 
an immense advantage. It is worthy of note that charcoal would put an end to the spreading of 
yellow fever, if the excrements of each patient, and every corpse, were covered by coarse charcoal 
powder ; but whether the internal use of it will prevent the disease with individuals has not vet been 
ascertained. Sulphur prevents Choi, asiat. with individuals, if the finest powder, called milk of 
Sulphur, is put into the stockings, so as to come in contact with the soles of the feet ; a pinch a 
day is sufficient to cause a gentle pouring out of sulphurated hydrogen through the pores of the 
skin, all over the body, blackening bright silver. But whether the substance which carries the 
disease is destroyed by it, has not been ascertained yet. CHg.

N.B. The aggravation of Cinchona-complaints, when lying on back, is apparently contradicted by two 
recentf cures (one of prolaps. uteri, and the other of Empyema). However, we cannot attach 
great importance to these cases, as lying on belly became unbearable on account of mechanical 
conditions. Neither can we attach importance to another cure with Cinchona, where bending the 
head back (when lying on belly) relieved relatively, because only in this way the patient could 
avoid lying on back, and also avoid the aggrav. caused by enveloping the head (with the bedding).

which acts in the opposite direction, (L. to R. Erysipelas of the face, complaints in ovaries, etc) 
may have a more curative influence in gout, if the pain commenced and predominates on the right

with both the sweat is better during motion, worse during rest, panic, in bed and "on awaking," worse when coughing ; 
with both the concomitant complaints are: Unconsciousness, bodily restlessness; anxious, oppressed or short breathing; 
excessive weakness, etc. But the differences between these remedies are by far more essential, and to give both in alter- 
nation would be to depend on accidental cures.*

N.B. Both are often indicated in typhoid fevers, it is true, in widely different cases, but sometimes the 
choice is difficult, particularly as Belladonna is equally applicable in apparently opposite states. 
Both have: Apathy, stupor, unconsciousness or great sensibility to noise and also to light; dis- 
like to talk, except in delirium, the latter sometimes is furious (Veratrum, " tearing his clothing," 
Belladonna, "tearing their breasts awfully"), great fearfulness ; eyes dim and glazy, face pale or 
by turns red and hot, distorted features, sudden startings in sleep, grinding of teeth ; both have 
much thirst, frequent drinking, but only little at a time ; the mouth dry, saliva lessened ; diarrhoea ; 
involuntary discharge of the faeces and the urine; both have nymphomania and other uterine 
affections in common ; with both the head is often burning hot, while the limbs are cold ; both 
have an aversion to being covered, both indicated particularly in children and women, etc. 
Veratrum has a great similarity with Lycopodium in typhoid complaints of children ; Belladonna 
with Rhus or Calcarea. — Veratrum preclom. violent headache, the head is hot and covered with

cholera season. — Belladonna: Violent temper; morose or depressed and sad mood; delirium, 
mostly violent, raging (imagining enemies or animals), in alternation with an apparently deep sleep; 
desire to jump out of bed, run away, or picking the bed clothes ; body in constant motion, jerking

slow, hardly perceptible, interrupted by deep sighing; sleepless with great longing for sleep; skin burning 
hot, rarely cold ; heat olten appears on upper part of body, with objective cold feet ; pulse at first 
frequent, full and large, later quick, hard and suppressed ; in violent rage they uncover them- 
selves. Often indicated in hot summers, or in fevers from solar influence.^ C.Hi;-.
